Faculty of Faculty of Science and Engineering student wins third place at the International Innovation ContestUtsunomiya Campus

At the global finals of the International Innovation Contest held at the Hong Kong Convention and Envision Center from Saturday, October 18th to Thursday, October 23rd, 2025, the student team Teikyo Mosquito Lab, belonging to the laboratory of Professor Hasuda Yuichi, Department Department of Information and Electronic Engineering Faculty of Science and Technology Faculty of Science and Engineering Teikyo University, presented their development of an automatic sampling system for mosquitoes that transmit infectious diseases, winning third place in the world.
The team's research theme is "an automatic sampling machine for mosquitoes and flies that transmit infectious diseases." Mosquitoes are the greatest threat to human life, killing 700,000 people worldwide each year from malaria and dengue fever. The team developed a sampling machine that attracts and captures mosquitoes, and a system that uses AI object detection to detect mosquitoes in real time to predict mosquito populations and damage worldwide.
In response to the presentation, researchers praised the interdisciplinary use of AI and robotics, demonstrating the high quality and potential of our university's robotics and AI education.
We look forward to the future development and practical application of Teikyo mosquito Lab's infectious disease control system that applies AI and robotics technology.
